My primary form of transporation in DC is the Metrobus. Friends here often ask me for bus advice because for awhile, I swore by the little schedules they printed and I was forever mapping my bus route on their handy trip planner site. Since I've moved to a new neighborhood, the buses I have to take come much more frequently and I don't seem to

Oh, man the people who sit in the aisle seat and don't move over drive me crazy. They do it on Metrorail too. I always move over when I see the train start to crowd. On the plus side, people on the bus are way more willing to offer me a seat and the men almost always let the women on first, which is nice.
I also love when people seem surprised that I take the bus when I could take the train, when the bus is cheaper and often times more direct. Why transfer if I don't have to? Also, sometimes the bus is less crowded. So why pay more money for a more crowded trip with a transfer?

I miss DC. But I definately do not miss the bus system. I loved the metrorail though!
